Structure and Function of Alkane Monooxygenase (AlkB). [PDF]

open access: yesAccounts of Chemical Research, 2023
ConspectusEvery year, perhaps as much as 800 million tons of hydrocarbons enters the environment; alkanes make up a large percentage of it. Most are transformed by organisms that utilize these molecules as sources of energy and carbon.

DNA repair by bacterial AlkB proteins

open access: bronzeResearch in Microbiology, 2003
The Escherichia coli AlkB protein is an iron- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase, repairing 1-methyladenine and 3-methylcytosine lesions in DNA. AlkB homologues are present in a number of bacterial species, and some bacteria have two different AlkB proteins.

AlkB-Facilitated Demethylation Enables Quantitative and Site-Specific Detection of Dual Methylation of Adenosine in RNA.

Analytical Chemistry, 2023
RNA molecules undergo various chemical modifications that play critical roles in a wide range of biological processes. N6,N6-Dimethyladenosine (m6,6A) is a conserved RNA modification and is essential for the processing of rRNA.

Gas Phase Experimental and Computational Studies of AlkB Substrates: Intrinsic Properties and Biological Implications.

Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2023
The gas phase acidity and proton affinity of nucleobases that are substrates for the DNA repair enzyme AlkB have been examined using both computational and experimental methods.

Aberrant activity of the DNA repair enzyme AlkB

Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2004
Escherichia coli AlkB is a DNA/RNA repair enzyme containing a mononuclear Fe(II) site that couples the oxidative decomposition of alpha-ketoglutarate (alphaKG) to the hydroxylation of 1-methyladenine or 3-methylcytosine lesions in DNA or RNA, resulting in release of formaldehyde and restoration of the normal bases.

Alkane biodegradation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from a polluted zone: identification of alkB and alkB-related genes

Research in Microbiology, 2002
Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains that grow on crude oil as the sole source of carbon and energy were isolated from an environment in Morocco polluted by petroleum refinery effluents. The twenty isolates grew on saturated alkanes from C12 to C22. Three of the isolates were also able to grow on low molecular weight C6 to C10 n-alkanes, but the other 17 ...

AlkB demethylases flip out in different ways

DNA Repair, 2008
Aberrant methylations in DNA are repaired by base excision repair (BER) and direct repair by a methyltransferase or by an oxidative demethylase of the AlkB type. Yang et al. [Nature 452 (2008) 961-966] have now solved the crystal structure of AlkB and human AlkB homolog 2 (hABH2) in complex with DNA using an ingenious crosslinking strategy to stabilize
